British beer Snake Venom, which contains 68per cent alcohol according to trading standards, has been officially declared the world’s strongest beer.
The mighty tipple, which costs £50 for a 275ml bottle, was produced by Brewmeister in Keith, a small town in Scotland.
Managing director Lewis Shand told the Daily Record: “Snake Venom is not like other beers in that we’d not recommend drinking a bottle in one go.
“It should be savoured in small measures in a similar way to a fine whisky or brandy.
“Unlike previous attempts and world-beating brews, the idea with Snake Venom was to produce something that still tastes like beer and is not masked by a harsh alcohol flavour.”
